Commission swears in two Board of Examiners nominees; general-contractor seat continued
Summary
The commission approved and administered the oath to nominees Michael Robbins and Ming Shu Chen for two Board of Examiners seats; Commissioner Walker moved and the commission voted to continue action on the general-contractor seat to the next meeting.
The Building Inspection Commission on Nov. 15 approved nominations and swore in Michael Robbins and Ming Shu Chen to the Board of Examiners, with terms through Sept. 15, 2019.
The Nomination Subcommittee recommended Mr. Robbins and Mr. Chen as qualified candidates. Commissioners voted to accept the two nominees and both were administered the oath of office in open session. Michael Robbins and Ming Shu Chen each repeated the oath and offered brief remarks: Robbins described his licensed-architect background and practice focus; Chen said he holds a master's degree in mechanical engineering from UC Berkeley and has worked in San Francisco since 1977.
Separately, Commissioner Walker moved, and the commission seconded and approved, a motion to continue action on the general-contractor seat to the next meeting. The commission recorder noted the motion carried by voice vote.
Why it matters: The Board of Examiners advises licensing and technical qualifications for professionals serving on DBI review panels; the newly sworn members join DBI's pool of technical experts used in plan review and related processes.
